Overview:
Trayvon Mullen is projected to get picked early in the second round by most NFL mock drafts. If he is still available when the Bucs are on the board with their second round pick, Licht should certainly consider drafting Mullen. Mullen is one of the best defensive backs available this year at a position where Tampa Bay desperately needs a lot of help. He has all the tools to become a starter at the next level quickly, especially considering how weak Tampa’s defensive backfield is at the moment.
Pros:
– Great length
– Excellent man coverage skills
– Great tackler for a cornerback
Cons:
– Needs to improve zone coverage skills
– Has to get better at shedding blocks when playing run support
